Ben, I applaud you for the concise and informative presentations and your dedication to the field of combat medicine. As a retired 18D I went through some pretty comprehensive training myself. To me you have to be totally committed to this particular MOS to succeed. Good luck on your journey through the military and civilian endeavors

You guys have it easy! After our 6 week EMT phase we were sent straight to the emergency rooms of the Baragwanath and Keleafong hospitals which serve some of themost violent areas in South Africa where you have to learn on the spot how to deal with gun shot and stabbing wounds. Then we went onto infantry and specialist training. I did mine with air force guys and paratroopers from 44 parachute brigade. That was back in 1992 in the old SADF so I don't know what they do nowadays

Thankyou this helped a lot! My goal in my life is to be a 68w! I work in the medical field now I want a change for my daughters and wife my family is my dedication to becoming a 68w!

I was a combat medic (91-B) with an armored cav unit in Vietnam, 69-70. Bless you for smiling a whole lot more than we did. I was also a paramedic for 8 years after discharge in 71. Bayonet through the heart... H Troop, 17th Cav. ? Nope. East LA, (El Monte).RPG’s? Did my job and stuttered afterward. I’ll pray for you guys... lost my whole crew to a 1,000 lb. mine... I can only laugh occasionally through the grace of God.

68W training is a lot different than the 91A training we had in 1966. I spent the remainder of my time as an instructor at the Professional Sciences Branch at Ft. Sam Houston Medical Training Center. My area was anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology.

Currently a hold under at Fort Sam Huston for 68W. We're told we will be picking up on December 9th.! Alpha 232 is our company.

I dont know about a year but it took me 5 weeks to graduate EMT school and get my cert. However Paramedic school is about 2 years depending on the program. (I'm an EMT in SoCal)

We do the EMT book (phase 1) in 21 days at Camp Shelby, Ms. Really it is only about 15 days when you take out in-processing, Clinical rotations, EMT skills testing, Nremt testing and out processing.

dum break donut so for basic just try and get fit, and for AIT some anatomy would be good but pretty much you’ll learn everything there.

It doesn’t take a year to get your NREMT EMT certification in civilian life. In civilian you can get your EMT in about 5 months, but paramedic takes about 1-2 years. I am in a 17 month paramedic program at the moment. So in civilian life if you hear there is a medic then they are referring to a paramedic. But in the military a “medic” can be an EMT(who is trained to give IV’s) or a paramedic. Although most are just EMT’s.
